Ward and Williams to split carries for Bucs

The Cowboys’ season-opening opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, released their depth chart yesterday with Cadillac Williams listed as the No. 1 RB.

According to the National Football Post, the Bucs plan to rotate Williams and free agent signee Derrick Ward “every couple of series,” with Earnest Graham “assuming more of a blocking/fullback type role.”

The Bucs’ running attack respresents a great early season challenge for the Cowboys, who face Brandon Jacobs and the Giants in Week 2. While sharing carries last season with Jacobs, Ward finished with 1,025 yards and 41 receptions.
